Trackerbird offers a service to manage updates for your software. By logging in to the
customer area and accessing the Builds Management page you are able to add one or more build
numbers that will be tagged as the ‘latest builds’ for your software. Then, from within your
application you can call tbVersionCheck() to confirm whether end users are using the latest
build/version of your your application or whether there are any newer builds available for
download. Every latest build can apply to either a specific edition/versions/build or else apply to all
installations. Therefore when the server matches the latest build numbers for your application it will
also take into consideration the current software Edition, Version and build number that were
initially submitted when creating the SDK configuration.

This function is used to implement a check for updates system for your software.
It returns information about whether a new build is available, what the version is, where
it can be download from, and where to find a log which contains all of the changes for the new build.

Return type:

Tuple in the format (<Status>, <Internal New Version Number>, <User-Friendly New Version Number>, <Download URL>, <Changelog URL>)
